doing things and saying stuff

Rickety Cricket and the Pop Star Zombie

This is the finished result of that thingy I posted on Sunday. I liked how it turned out; I don’t think I’ve done green and magenta-purple before, so it was fun trying something different.

On a related note, does anyone have advice on getting bright colors to show up accurately? The apartement faces the wrong direction to get any sunlight now that it’s winter, and the camera flash washes out the colors something awful, especially with pink, purple and red eyeshadow.

This is my seductive face.

The cuttingest crease I’ve ever tried. Not very sharp, but at least I’m learning things.

Skin
Revlon Colorstay oily/combo foundation in Buff, used as an overall base and layered lightly on blemishes as a concealer
CoverGirl oil control powder in light? I’m too lazy to go check, my makeup is way over in the bathroom.
ELF bronzing quad thing in Warm or Golden, used as a blush toward the back of my cheeks

Mouf
AL lipbalm in Yuzu (maybe?)
a tiny bit of foundation (jizzlips lol) to mute my natural lip color
Maybelline ColorSensational lipstick in Champagne Shimmer, which is supposedly a dupe for UD’s Midnight Cowboy lipstick. It’s very shimmery without being chunky-glittery or even very frosty. It is a LITTLE frosty but I like it because it’s such a sheer product. It had a weird, firm, balmy consistency, more like a Burt’s Bees lipbalm than the new Revlon Lip Butters.

Oh and I have no idea how to not wash the colours out other than the zoom really close and press the flower and don’t move. Like at all. If you dare breathe you just murdered a kennel of puppies probably. My colours turn out wonky sometimes so I just take a billion pictures until something looks the closest to what I see.
